The urgent search for a COVID-19 cure means that the usual scientific approach to testing medicines – big studies with careful control groups – is not an option. We can’t wait that long. Instead, trial and error, along with an accretion of anecdotal data, is the best we’ve got.
This method has yielded one significant possibility for treating COVID-19: Chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine (which are similar malaria drugs), along with azithromycin and zinc. (For ease, I’ll refer here to the whole treatment as “chloroquine.”)
Funnily enough, though, the Democrats are incredibly hostile to the chloroquine. One has to wonder if they’re hoping, not for the best, but for the worst. Fairly early in the COVID-19 pandemic, China said that it had seen some good outcomes with chloroquine. Others began noting the same thing. In early March, UPI reported that South Korean experts recommended anti-malarial drugs to treat coronavirus.
Chloroquine also got a boost when Prof. Didier Raoult, a famous virologist, published a study showing that, of eighty in-patients treated with chloroquine, seventy-eight recovered fully, one died, and one remained ill. Raoult felt so strongly about chloroquine’s benefits that he concluded it would be unethical to have a control group that did not receive the medicine. On Wednesday, the New York Times reported that another study from China pointed to chloroquine as a possible cure.

The more die, the more they will blame it on Trump.
The Left needs bodies.
The UN agenda 21 wanted to reduce world population by 85% while Ted Turner wanted to have 95% less population.

Create herd immunity. Infect a Democrat today.
To the Left, citizens are pawns in a partisan chess game.
Newsflash: they don’t want people getting better. That is so Nancy can have that impeach the President crap ready to go. They will not get the failures they are looking for.
The Dems are ALL about rhe election
“Never let a crisis go to waste” — democrat ex-mayor of Chicago.
Title corrected for accuracy.
Of course the democRATs want a crisis. Impeach Trump, destroy the free enterprise system, control people and their movements. It is classic Cloward-Piven orchestrated crisis to achieve their goal of communism. And it is now racist to call the virus what it is, the fault of the communist Chinese party (CCP virus). The democRATs are using the CCP crisis in an attempt to get the kind of government wielded by the CCP.
I saw a shirt with a version of “Don’t tread on me” with the coiled snake.
It reads “Don’t cough on me”.
Not to mention more “new” democRAT voters.
orchestrated crisis to achieve their goal of communism....
Overwhelm the system.
Open borders and Obamacare are two major factors in that goal.
Dem leadership works for China, and not rhetorically so, actually so.
Almost?Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
The false positive rate was 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.
Like always, the Democrats want the issue much more than they want the resolution to ANY problem. The Left sincerely believes they have been handed an extremely useful issue on a silver platter, and they can milk this set of circumstances for months if not years to come.
A single death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic. - Josef Stalin
It is also the Democrats quest to atone for America’s past atrocities, both real and imagined. America in their opinion, must be destroyed and rebuilt from ashes in their judicious image.
